*Seems like a good solar **Generater.Systems** . I have not had to put it to the test yet in a situation without power but it has seemed to operate fine so far.*
I am assuming that you mean, how many years will this last? Solar generator is kind of a dumb name for these devices anyway. They do not generate anything, they take in electricity from the sun. The charge controller inside the unit does that work for you. Now to your question. These lithium units are rated at the number of full cycles they can do. I believe my Delta 1300 is rated at something like 800 full cycles. What does that mean? It means that for example, 800 days in a row I would run it from 100% down to zero. Think about how many days months and years that is. That means you could run it from 1% to zero every day and then charge it fully back up. Once you hit that number, the battery is not worthless. It only drops down to 80% of the original full amount. So for the average user, that means these units will last for years and years. We use ours camping, but do we camp every day? No. Do I run it down every time I use it down to zero, no. I quite often run mine down to maybe 50%, and then I recharge it. Now we doubled the number of cycles I’m going to get. And many of these units are rated to over 3000 full cycles and that would mean a decade or more abuse for most people. I hope that helps.
I love my Eco Flow Delta. A reminder to all, that limiting of cycles to approx. 800 is if you recharged via AC all 800 times. Using solar or vehicle 12vdc outlet does not count against the life cycles. So, it will last much longer than that for most people!
Not to mention that most never run it down to 0% as well. And even then, the battery does not stop working. It would still have a lot juice for a very long time.
Wow! What a powerful battery! It's expensive, but well worth the money since you would only need that battery for all your needs. Better than a generator inverter! Batteries are the future, soon generators will be obsolete. Thank you for all the information you give. There is so much I didn't know about until you mention it; things I wouldn't even think about. I'm learning a lot form your videos. I retire in 2 years, but planning to buy a Runaway soon, God willing. Thanks for another great review.
Thanks - Ecoflow will be my power source in my Ford Transit 250 van conversion series starting soon.First video - ruclips.net/video/lT8qHe9Ia_U/видео.html
We now have two deltas, a river pro in the extra battery, and the river max. Ecoflow joined me as a corporate partner for our van build. You might take a peek at how I did the wiring and use the Ecoflow units in our Ford transit van build. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video 👍... You are costing me a lot of money, mine will be here Tuesday can't wait to try it out. Curious to see how the Iceco 20 Works with it...
Well I took the delta camping this weekend.. in the morning the screen would not come on I am not going to keep it.. I'm now in contact with the company trying to troubleshoot the problem.. I really liked this unit but for $1350. Oh well..
I love love this product !! I can now go camping with this including use my mini instant pot and go off grid.. 👌🏽P.S.,I also checked the tire table.. seriously considering to buy in from a UK site👍🏽
I am really impressed by them. Today I received a second Delta 1300 from Ecoflow. I have doing a Ford Transit 250 van conversion starting in September and Ecoflow has agreed to be one of my corporate partners. They will be the exclusive lithium power source on my build and will be featured in my van build series here on this channel and their logo will be on the back of my Transit. I have other corporate partners too.
We run a small 700-watt microwave to reheat frozen entrees. A 5-minute reheat takes the Delta a few percent. We also can run a Walmart Kuerig too. Works great - not issues. Just don't get a super high watt microwave.
Wow great information. Did I miss how much they cost? Never mine, I clicked your eco link. Expensive but they are nice. Thanks for making the video sir.
Glad it was helpful! I never give prices because they can change and someone watch any of my videos moths or years after I upload it. Check out my new Ford Transit 250 van conversion series.
Totally agree - not cheap - but it can do so much and then recharge crazy fast. Be sure to watch the companion video about recharging tips. My "Tips for Recharging Your Ecoflow" video: @. Thanks for watching!
I’m glad you liked it. There is a sale on the Ecoflow website. If you do need that much power, look at the River 600. They sent me one - with the Max module which makes it a 576 watt unit with the same fast recharging. I will have my review up next week.
Thank you for the great review! Question: It says in the manual never to transport it above 30% charge. Do you always follow this guideline or have you tried driving with it above 30%? What happens if you do?
Really?" I would think that would refer to when it is shipped. I top them off before each trip and never a problem. It would not make sense that a camper could no0t have it fully charged when they arrive to camp.
@@charlesmoman That's exactly what I was thinking. Makes no sense considering what most people use it for. Okay, so here's hoping it means when it's being mailed. Glad to hear you haven't had any problems with it being fully powered and moved around. Whew, gives me relief on using it. Thank you!
I'm a complete newbie, so please forgive the question if its a simple one! How did you connect your air conditioner to the unit? Can you plug your trailer power directly into it? Can you run this and your regular battery connected to the trailer at the same time? Great video!!
The Runaway in this video does not have a "house" battery like the typical RV - no battery at all. It is wired for shore power (campground outlet). For testing purposes, I plugged the 5,000 BTU AC in the camper directly into one of the Delta 1300 outlets. I ran it for about 6.5 hours and it was cold in there. However . . . at the end, it was dead. The great thing about the Ecoflow Delta (and the River 600 Max and River 600 Pro), is that they can recharge from 0% to 100% in less than two hours which is remarkable. Does that help?
@@charlesmoman very helpful, thanks! So in real-life use, I can't really connect this battery to my camper as if it is "shore power" and use it for Air conditioning or anything of a high draw, because it only has 15 amp plugs--- am I understanding that correctly? to use the A/C I'd need to plug it directly into the 15 amp plug on this as a stand alone connection? Thanks again for your help!
@@pastrbuzz1 Check this video in my van series about wiring - there are others too. ruclips.net/video/NhBylzFTdDQ/видео.html I have wired my van for my 12v lights and little panels that have usb and 12v port and switches. They are all run to a simple fuse block and I will hook a Delta to the fuse block via the cigarette port and a cable I got from Amazon. If I am on shore power at a campground, I have a 30 amp inlet that feed power to three ac outlets I installed in the van. If I do not have shore power, then I can plug the AC cords into the Delta. I will not be running an AC in the van. If you have a standard RV with a big AC on the roof, none of this will work because they require so much power. I could add a simple 5000 BTU house AC in my van, but we won't. We have a MaxxAir fan and a MaxxAir passive vent to pull air through. Have then in my little mini camper and they work great.
I think so. Most of the time, when I am using the inverter in the Ecoflow, it is in a box in our Ford Transit camper van, so I do not hear it. When it runs, it is not loud, but everyone has their tolerance level.
It sounds like most people prefer to have at least two of these types of power source. I am trying to figure out whether to go for one larger capacity or two smaller capacity.
What you need to consider is what is the largest device you want to run. The Delta inverter is larger and can run a lot - I have run a microwave, coffee pot and even a 5000BTU AC for 6-7 hours. I am now doing a Ford Transit van conversion and Ecoflow is one of my corporate partners and they have sent me now 2 Deltas, a River Max and a River Pro with the extra battery for my van build. Very. Fortunate. A small unit is quite handy for portability. Happy shopping.
No weatherproof - no need to worry using it inside - we do all of the time. A very safe and powerful lithium. Ecoflow is now my major corporate partner in my current van build with my 2018 Ford Transit 250 medium roof van, See the build here - they have already furnished me with two Deltas and are slap sending me the R600 Max with extra battery and the R600 Pro, plus extras. bit.ly/3dwUQHm
Ha bms for your review of the Delta. I know this was from last year, but do you know if this “Delta” SG includes the back up battery as does the River Eco Flow? That would be ideal if so.
Thank you for this great review! Wondering about the AC port- Could you plug the ICECO into the AC port instead of the 12v port and stay safe? Say, if you needed the 12v port for something else plus power for the frig?
Thanks for the non-overly tech review. I had decided on this unit and the only thing holding me back were reviews that said that fan noise was too loud. Did you experience that ? Inside the RV ? Is the fan on during both DC and AC operation ? While charging ? Thanks again.
When I plug it into a house outlet, it is pulling in a LOT of juice because of their Xtreme technology and the fan comes on.I personally do not think it is all the loud. Some like to find "something" to complain about. When you use an AC outlet, the fan might come on, but not as loud as when recharging. I think it serves as nice white noise! : ) I now have 2 Deltas, one River 600 Max and they just sent me the not yet released River 600 Pro with the River 600 Pro extra battery. It will come out in March they tell me. I will post a quick look review today or tomorrow. My van build power system is built around the Ecoflow units. Thanks for watching. I can't be overly techie because I am not that smart! : )
@@rayo1371 The fast recharging is really incredible. I at RMNP last summer I just plugged it into an outlet in the nearby bathroom and waited outside - in the afternoon, so almost everyone was gone by then. Now with all of the units we have, we will be just fine. Most of the time, we camp with shore power except national parks and at a rest area or Cracker Barrel. Very blessed.
great review Mr Charles can I use the Eco Flow Delta PRO with offshore power for my RV 30 amp? How long can I offshore without recharging? And how do I charge with this during winter if my RV plu is exterior? thanks im a newbie and want to buy the Delta pro to live offgrid during frigid Northern WI winters
You can plug the Delta Pro into an RV, but I really can’t answer any of the questions you have. It all depends on what you’re trying to run. If you’re hoping you can run your RV as if it’s plugged into normal shore power, I think you’ll be very disappointed . Especially if you are trying to use any kind of electric heater, it will drain the delta pro so quickly and then you have the problem of recharging. And honestly to recharge it you need to have shore power or a gas generator. It is so huge in power, it will take a LOT of direct sun and lots of solar panels to effectively recharge it fast enough for you. I’m not sure any solar generator is the answer to surviving in in any situation that is going to be cold for extended periods of time. For heat you would really need to use some kind of diesel heater or something like that and you have to be careful with not killing yourself with carbon monoxide. Good luck on your search. There are just too many variables in your questions for me to possibly answer, but I wish I could. Be safe.
No. It can be done, but it really is best to not let lithiums run below 20% remaining. I rarely run mine down much post 505 before recharging and the Ecoflow units recharge so crazy fast anyway. As far as the solar panels, I do not think it hurts to leave them hooked up.
At that time I had a 2011 Ford 150 XLT, but this past September, I traded it for a 2018 Ford Transit 250 148" MR and we are now in the middle of a van conversion project. I am up to episode #32 right now. We still own that Runaway RangeRunner 6x8 fiberglass mini-camper, but will not use it much except with grandkids. I just uploaded a quick look at the new River 600 Pro and recently uploaded a review of the River 600 Max. Check out the van build series and thanks for watching.
We are getting ready to order the Ecoflow 1300, do you recommend ordering directly from Ecoflow, or through Amazon? Also, I can't find your affiliate link, you might as well get a little credit from our purchase...
I would suggest buying from Amazon, especially if you have Prime. And if you had to return it, it is easy with Amazon. At the moment I do not have an affiliate link because I have chosen - for now - to still not do any monetizing.
@@susieeckert1916 I ran a 6.5 hour test running the AC on our driveway and it did fine. It was about 80 degrees and ir ran fine. In actual camping we have not yet - I did run it for a while one time at a rest area in Kansas one afternoon for a nap. If you rn it down to zero - then either get somewhere and plug it in or like me - I will start taking my Honda 2000 with me and I can recharge it in less than two hours that way. Check out my Transit van conversion project - ruclips.net/video/lT8qHe9Ia_U/видео.html
4:20 How fast does it charge from 12v car port? is 120v AC charging faster? what if you plug BOTH the solar and and 120v AC? What the smallest inverter i can use to charge this FAST ?
So how much cycles if you charge only thru solar? I am confused now ,, and can you charge thru solar and use it at the same time I mean discharge same time
It has pass through charging - so I assume it would do the same when on solar. I personally absolutely never think about cycles with these lithiums. Most people will not be running them to zero every day and then recharging to 100%,. So for the average user, just about any brand will run just fine for years and years. When they do hit the stated cycles, then still will continue to run but at only 80% of the original capacity. Mt Ecoflow units will outlive me. : )
Great video! I am concerned about the sleeping mode, I use the delta for my 12 v fridge and it seems once my fridge hit the temperature desired, the ecoflow turns off. Any idea how to avoid sleeping mode?
Check what battery setting you have your fridge at. If the battery protection is set wrong on the 12v fridge, it might turn off to protect its power source.
@@charlesmoman would you want to put it on the low, medium or high setting on the fridge? I have an Iceco JP40 and I am confused about the battery protection settings and when and how to use what setting lol
I have two Delta’s. Has anyone figured out how to charge their Delta off of the 12 V cigarette lighter port in your car? I’m asking because the male 12 V plug that came with the Delta has melted twice in the cigarette lighter port in my 2006 Toyota sienna.
The problem is with the plug itself. Almost all of those kind of plugs, not just the eco-flow ones, seem to not be able to stay in tightly. That is the issue. I’ve wired a cable from my battery with a wire that ends with an XT 60 connector to charge a Delta. The new Ecoflo units have an app and you can slow down the charging speed. So it can be problematic to charge a Delta 1300 with the car travel plug because it is pulling so much juice. Almost 100% of the time, I charge mine with a wall outlet and top it off with some solar now and then.
@@charlesmoman Mine doesn’t fall out of my Siennas 12 volt port so that’s not the issue. I charge my Deltas with 2 100 watt solar panels and AC sometimes too but AC won’t be conveniently available when I’m long distance traveling so it would be nice on a cloudy day to pick up some watts while driving.
@@joeblow1942 Any cords that I have that have a cigarette plug at the end I have change. I cut them off and put Cuzek plugs on and have no issues with them. I get the cords from Amazon and cut the end off.
No. The Jackery takes MUCH longer to recharge - 7 hours from 0% to 100% with an AC outlet. The Delta takes one hour to go from 0% to 80% and one hour and forty five minutes to 100%. I love my Jackery 500, but the Ecoflow is state of the art - for now - with the fast recharging and the really nice display screen that has much more information for users.
I hear you, but seriously, people are driving past me at 70-80 mph. I can’t put a sermonette on the back and expect them to remember. I know you mean well, but you understand what I saying. I now have that on our newly-converted Ford Transit campervan as well. And on the sides, I have a large compass rose that says - as far as the east is from the west - and scripture reference. That mainly will get rid at campgrounds, parking lots, Walmarts, and rest areas. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments from many people about that particular scripture reference as well. Take care.

It is so huge in power, it will take a LOT of direct sun and lots of solar panels to effectively recharge it fast enough for you. I’m not sure any solar generator is the answer to surviving in in any situation that is going to be cold for extended periods of time. For heat you would really need to use some kind of diesel heater or something like that and you have to be careful with not killing yourself with carbon monoxide. Good luck on your search. There are just too many variables in your questions for me to possibly answer, but I wish I could. Be safe.
So it is better to let it drain down to near 0% before recharging? Not good to keep it on the solar panel at all times?
No. It can be done, but it really is best to not let lithiums run below 20% remaining. I rarely run mine down much post 505 before recharging and the Ecoflow units recharge so crazy fast anyway. As far as the solar panels, I do not think it hurts to leave them hooked up.
Thanks. What an outstanding review. So helpful and informative. What truck and trailer do you have?
At that time I had a 2011 Ford 150 XLT, but this past September, I traded it for a 2018 Ford Transit 250 148" MR and we are now in the middle of a van conversion project. I am up to episode #32 right now. We still own that Runaway RangeRunner 6x8 fiberglass mini-camper, but will not use it much except with grandkids. I just uploaded a quick look at the new River 600 Pro and recently uploaded a review of the River 600 Max. Check out the van build series and thanks for watching.
We are getting ready to order the Ecoflow 1300, do you recommend ordering directly from Ecoflow, or through Amazon? Also, I can't find your affiliate link, you might as well get a little credit from our purchase...
I would suggest buying from Amazon, especially if you have Prime. And if you had to return it, it is easy with Amazon. At the moment I do not have an affiliate link because I have chosen - for now - to still not do any monetizing.
@@charlesmoman Thanks for the info. We hope to be able to run the AC on our Runaway, have you had any success with that?
@@susieeckert1916 I ran a 6.5 hour test running the AC on our driveway and it did fine. It was about 80 degrees and ir ran fine. In actual camping we have not yet - I did run it for a while one time at a rest area in Kansas one afternoon for a nap. If you rn it down to zero - then either get somewhere and plug it in or like me - I will start taking my Honda 2000 with me and I can recharge it in less than two hours that way.

4:20 How fast does it charge from 12v car port? is 120v AC charging faster? what if you plug BOTH the solar and and 120v AC? What the smallest inverter i can use to charge this FAST ?
Go to the Hobotech channel and see his review - I think he might answer those questions.
So how much cycles if you charge only thru solar? I am confused now ,, and can you charge thru solar and use it at the same time I mean discharge same time
It has pass through charging - so I assume it would do the same when on solar. I personally absolutely never think about cycles with these lithiums. Most people will not be running them to zero every day and then recharging to 100%,. So for the average user, just about any brand will run just fine for years and years. When they do hit the stated cycles, then still will continue to run but at only 80% of the original capacity. Mt Ecoflow units will outlive me. : )
Great video! I am concerned about the sleeping mode, I use the delta for my 12 v fridge and it seems once my fridge hit the temperature desired, the ecoflow turns off. Any idea how to avoid sleeping mode?
Check what battery setting you have your fridge at. If the battery protection is set wrong on the 12v fridge, it might turn off to protect its power source.
@@charlesmoman thanks for the quick reply, I will try that!
@@charlesmoman would you want to put it on the low, medium or high setting on the fridge? I have an Iceco JP40 and I am confused about the battery protection settings and when and how to use what setting lol
@@djordan7979 It is confusing. I set mine to low protection because I don't care about running a lithium dow because I can charge it back up.
How do you like your space heater? Where did you get it? Thank you very much!
A small Pelonis from Walmart.
@@charlesmoman Thank you so much!
Do you just charge it from your home outlet? Thank You!
Yes and from solar panels too.
I have two Delta’s. Has anyone figured out how to charge their Delta off of the 12 V cigarette lighter port in your car? I’m asking because the male 12 V plug that came with the Delta has melted twice in the cigarette lighter port in my 2006 Toyota sienna.
The problem is with the plug itself. Almost all of those kind of plugs, not just the eco-flow ones, seem to not be able to stay in tightly. That is the issue. I’ve wired a cable from my battery with a wire that ends with an XT 60 connector to charge a Delta. The new Ecoflo units have an app and you can slow down the charging speed. So it can be problematic to charge a Delta 1300 with the car travel plug because it is pulling so much juice. Almost 100% of the time, I charge mine with a wall outlet and top it off with some solar now and then.
@@charlesmoman Mine doesn’t fall out of my Siennas 12 volt port so that’s not the issue. I charge my Deltas with 2 100 watt solar panels and AC sometimes too but AC won’t be conveniently available when I’m long distance traveling so it would be nice on a cloudy day to pick up some watts while driving.
@@joeblow1942 Any cords that I have that have a cigarette plug at the end I have change. I cut them off and put Cuzek plugs on and have no issues with them. I get the cords from Amazon and cut the end off.
Is this equal to Jackery?
No. The Jackery takes MUCH longer to recharge - 7 hours from 0% to 100% with an AC outlet. The Delta takes one hour to go from 0% to 80% and one hour and forty five minutes to 100%. I love my Jackery 500, but the Ecoflow is state of the art - for now - with the fast recharging and the really nice display screen that has much more information for users.
What kind of ac unit?
5,000 BTU home ac.
How many volts?

You have to start at Romans 10:9 my brother. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I hear you, but seriously, people are driving past me at 70-80 mph. I can’t put a sermonette on the back and expect them to remember. I know you mean well, but you understand what I saying. I now have that on our newly-converted Ford Transit campervan as well. And on the sides, I have a large compass rose that says - as far as the east is from the west - and scripture reference. That mainly will get rid at campgrounds, parking lots, Walmarts, and rest areas. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments from many people about that particular scripture reference as well. Take care.
@@charlesmoman I’m doing a Ford transit as well!! Very fun doing it.
@@mikemarti2073 Great! My van build series is on my channel. We are extremely pleased how it all turned out. It’s a thing of beauty! Heading to Colorado tomorrow.
@@charlesmoman God has had his hand on my build. I’ll check your channel out👍.
